Russ Howard: An Open Letter to Remington's Tommy Millner

I was a long-time customer of Remington, but I won't be again until you dump H-S Precision. [More]
Mindful Musings reminds us of some unfinished business.

After speaking with Tommy Millner, I offered the opinion:
As a personal note, I was impressed by his accessibility and candor. We've got a guy caught up in a situation not of his making trying to do the right thing, and my recommendation is to trust that he will.

At this point, we need to see what HS-Precision does next.
We saw what HS-Precision did next. They posted a tepid non-apology for a few days and then removed it from their site.

Now Russ Howard thinks it's time for Remington and other gun companies that do business with them to do more, and to let us know about it.

And don't forget Midway USA. I sent Larry Potterfield, the owner, a personal email asking what he intended and he has offered no response. HS products are still on the Midway site.

Midway should blow the HS stuff out at their cost. This serves everyone well.
Lets see if the companies in the firearms industry circle the wagons for HS. If they do we know who is with us and who is against us. Simple as that.
